Development and Updates for the Medeek Electrical Plugin

[Medeek]

Version 1.4.4 - 06.17.2024
- Added the "Draw Service Entrance" function to the primary toolbar.
- Enabled the ability to draw service entrance devices: CSED and Meter Socket.





For the callout and 2D symbol I'm not really sure what I should use, for now I'm showing the device part number and a simple rectangle.  Any thoughts or suggestions in this regard will be appreciated.

Per customer request I also think it would be pertinent to add some disconnect/switches to the misc. tool. Typically in residential applications you will see these mounted externally for AC equipment or hot tubs. The more common ones are not too expensive so I thought it would be instructional to actually put my hands on some of these devices to better understand them and also for more accurate modeling reasons.





This is the 60A Square D QO200TRCP. I'm actually surprised at how sturdy this little enclosure is.

[Medeek]

Version 1.4.7 - 07.18.2024

The included device in the smoke/CO library is a KIDDE 30CUDR. Just bought this one yesterday and modeled it this morning.

Note the 2D symbol text for this type of device is "SC".

I've had some call for AC condenser units, so I'm going to create some very generic low poly models to add into the built-in library.
Here is my first crack at a 30x30x40 unit (it is a solid group):

Let me know if there are any particular sizes or geometries you would like to see added.

[Medeek]

Version 1.4.8 - 02.07.2025
- Added "hvac" under misc. fixtures.
- Added four generic hvac condensor units/sizes into the built-in library: 30X28, 30x32, 30x40, 36x32.

[Medeek]

Version 1.4.9 - 02.11.2025
- Added three generic hvac condensor units/sizes into the built-in library (with WeatherGuardTM tops): 30X28_WG, 30x32_WG, 30x40_WG.



These additional variants added per customer request.  They are the exact same as the similar sized units other than the addition of the weather guard top.  Hopefully this gives enough selection for typical residential AC units however if there is need for any other styles etc... please let me know.

**Version 1.5.0** - 02.16.2025
- Added two generic side discharge hvac/heat pump condensor units into the built-in library: HP_XV19_42, HP_XV19_36.
- Added various "Wilkerson Art" framed art prints within the "art" category under misc. fixtures: Wasco, Frog, Hummingbird, Eagle under Sun, Killer Whale, Abstract and Medeek (Grizzly Bear).

The funny thing is that I added the hummingbird framed art back in June (2024) as an Easter Egg but I guess no one noticed, or at least no one ever messaged me about it so I guess it went undetected.  I've also added in a decent wall clock as well for those needing a wall clock mounted in a room.

Decided to take a much needed break from the code today and did some other misc. tasks.  This one just kind of popped up on my radar so I figured I would add a few more framed prints.
